Such Great Braff

For a decade, getting Braffed was the blue state alternative to GIT-R-DONE. Is the Braffing phenomenon possible without the grassroots support of the Bourgeois Bohemian base? Chances are, if you see this Stella Artois commercial before a film, you are about to get Braffed.

But, if we are going to get real cozy with the Establishment, we are going to need some music to get-our-Braff-on-to.

Remember that first time you heard ELO's Mr. Blue Sky against a backdrop of complete Braff? Then thinking, "Gosh, if only that were a real movie..." Only to repeat that sentence for years and years to come?

So which is the true secret anthem of B.R.A.F.F. Force? ELO's "Mr. Blue Sky" or "Such Great Heights"?

This is by no means an exhaustive list, by the way. How many companies own the rights to that song? It's like a corporate gang-braffing. It hurts to watch. Remind me never to let Kaiser Permanente watch my drink.

But wait, of course, I'm forgetting the obvious: New Slang.

Who knew the new slang would be "GOT BRAFFED"?
